1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) effectively reduces immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced colitis and is based on the phagocytic uptake of apoptotic ECP-treated splenocytes. Here, we present a flow cytometry-based assay to investigate phagocytosis of ECP-treated murine splenocytes by bone marrow-derived macrophages and dendritic cells in vitro using a congenic marker only present in donor animals and fluorescence labeling of ECP-treated cells. We describe steps for analyzing M2-like polarization markers, investigating protein phosphorylation, and analyzing specific target gene expression in single cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Braun et al.
